Assertion A : If A, B, C, D are four points on a semi-circular arc with centre at 'O' such that

\(\left|\overset\longrightarrow{AB}\right|\) = \(\left|\overset\longrightarrow{BC}\right|\) = \(\left|\overset\longrightarrow{CD}\right|\), then

\(\overset\longrightarrow{AB}\) + \(\overset\longrightarrow{AC}\) + \(\overset\longrightarrow{AD}\) = 4  \(\overset\longrightarrow{AO}\) + \(\overset\longrightarrow{OB}\) + \(\overset\longrightarrow{OC}\)

Reason R : Polygon law of vector addition yields

 \(\overset\longrightarrow{AB}\) + \(\overset\longrightarrow{BC}\) + \(\overset\longrightarrow{CD}\) + \(\overset\longrightarrow{AD}\) = 2 \(\overset\longrightarrow{AO}\)

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

(1) A is correct but R is not correct.

(2) A is not correct but R is correct.

(3) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

(4) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Correct answer is 4.

Polygon law is applicable in both but the equation given in the reason is not useful in explaining the assertion.

I'm sorry but could you explain how in the reason they got 2 AO on the right hand side? I was thinking it should be 2 AD.
